And epstein didn’t kill himself lol

Yeah I got an 8gb ASUS and it works very well for what I need.

I’ve bough used desktops. And I STOPPED. Refurbished or not, they NEVER last that long AT ALL.

I think your laptop advice was great.

And what is linux anyway? I need to know after hearing about it for more than 20 years :)

Is it an operating system like windows??

Yeah, it's an open source, community OS based on Ubuntu or Debian. It dates way back to the old Unix code from ages ago. It was developed as an alternative to iOS and Windows. There have been so many versions of Linux out there over the years, I couldn't begin to count them all. I used to have machines running Red Hat, Xandros, SUSE, Mandriva, and a few others. WARNING: While Linux has become so user-friendly it's practically plug-n-play, it's like going from a Southern redneck slur to an upper-crust British lilt. Or a thick Scottish burr. Here are two quick self-help links (among the millions out there):
